den victory win over LukeCramer.He added a 9-4 decision

over Shelden Struble ofBryan and a 6-5 win overCameron Campbell ofSandusky Perkins to claimthe championship.“Dalton had a pretty

tough road to the finals,”said Ritter of Nicely. “Hehad to face two wrestlerswho he’s faced before, buthave always wrestled himtough. He rose to the oc-cassion and then cranked itup a notch in the finals.”Krall opened with pins

Cody Pontious (126) andAaron Scheutte (160) allwrestled in fifth placematches.“Even with all those

heartbreaking losses, wefinished the tournament asdistrict runners-up,” fin-ished Ritter. “To do that, itwas a total team effort.

Only two lead changes inentire gameBy NORRIS LEDYARDExpositor Staff Writer

The Lady Blackbirds lead early andoften over the Toledo Area AthleticConference champion Green Bears fromOttawa Hills. In the end, Pettisville wonan overtime thriller, 44-38 to advance insectional play over Ottawa Hills.The six point lead Pettisville held late

in the fourth quarter melted away likethis winter’s snow as the Green Bearsmounted a 10-6 charge to a 36 all tie inregulation.From there, Ottawa Hills’ offense

sputtered to only two foul shots in theovertime period as Kaitlin Nofziger hittwo field goals and a free throw to ad-vance the Lady Blackbirds.“This is a good Ottawa Hills team we

faced tonight,” said Pettisville headcoach Jason Waldvogel. “It is a game ofruns and the Green Bears really camealive down the stretch. This win is ameasure of our team defense.“Ashlyn Bontrager did an exceptional

job on their leading rebounder (6’ HaleyJarecki). She can easily grab 25 re-bounds a game and Ashlyn did sometough work tonight. Lexie King, LaurenFrey and (Audra) Klopfenstein all did aterrific job inside against a talented op-ponent.”When the action could have gone in

favor of Ottawa Hills, Tanner Hostetlerwas down on the floor and batted theball to her teammate to break up a po-tential steal in the third quarter. The in-stinctual team play of experienceshowed for the Lady Blackbirds at bothends of the floor.“These players understand how to

play the game and how to play as ateam,” said Waldvogel. “This is tourna-ment play and the play is more physical.My staff has confidence in all our play-ers. We were prepared and came outahead at the end.”While the Lady Green Bears won the

opening tip to regulation play, theycould not cash in on the opportunities.The Lady Blackbirds maintained defen-

sive pressure on the ball and limited theGreen Bears to too many one-and-donetrips to their basket. By the time OttawaHills head coach Sean Mercer could calltime, the Lady Blackbirds jumped out toa 13-3 lead with 3:30 left in the firstquarter.The Lady Green Bears responded

with a trey and a lay up from AllieDewire to close the spread to 13-8. Abucket from Caroline Arnos and a bankshot by Allie Dewire made it 13-12.Pettisville continued to grind out their

motion offense, with King and Nofzigerscoring, and tough defense to gain a 6-0spurt to move ahead of Ottawa Hills, 19-12. Klopfenstein drained a free throw tomake it 20-15. Arnos launched a halfcourt toss and was fouled to gain accessto the charity stripe. She only hit thesecond attempt to close out half timewith the score 20-16.Nofziger hit two buckets and Tanner

Hostetler made the front end at the freethrow stripe to stretch the LadyBlackbird advantage to 25-18. MeganHealy countered with four points forOttawa Hills to close the gap to 25-20 atthe end of three periods.While the score surged to 32-26, the

Lady Green Bears continued to findways to score and come up with sometough stops to draw within a singlepoint, 32-31. Bontrager hit both of herfree throws at the 3 minute mark tomake the score 34-31.Arnos immediately drained a deuce to

draw Ottawa Hills within one, 34-33.Dewire committed her fourth foul andsent King to the foul line. She missedboth attempts. At the other end, NancyRumpf jacked up a three ball to giveOttawa Hills their first lead, 36-34 with2:12 left in regulation.Nofziger eventually hit two free

throws with 45.6 seconds left to tie thescore. The Lady Blackbirds appliedsome pressure at half court and disrupt-ed the Green Bear offense to a one anddone with a big rebound by Nofziger.Her last second attempt was off themark which led to the overtime period.Nofziger led all scorers with 20 points.Bontrager chipped in for eight points

and King scored six.“It was quite a game tonight,” said

Mercer. “We continued to make upground and really pushed the scoredown the stretch. There is a lot of fightand persistence in our girls and my staffis very proud of their efforts.“It is tournament time and we did get

in some foul trouble. We dressed 14players, so we did have enough to sendinto the game,” said Mercer. “We lost alot of our front line players, so we had to

adjust our game plan.”The Ottawa Hills teams had spent the

last two years in Division III competi-tion and have just returned to DivisionIV.“This is a tough sectional to go

through, with teams like Pettisville,Hilltop and Stryker,” said Mercer. “Wefought valiantly and came up short.”The Lady Blackbirds play Edgerton

Panthers fall toEdgerton, top TinoraBy RANDY ROBERTSExpositor Sports Editor

EDGERTON - Delta’s swing through the GMC start-ed with a 59-50 loss to Edgerton on Thursday. The winby the Bulldogs gave them their first 20-0 regular sea-son in school history.One bad break that hurt the Panthers came in the

waning moments of the third period. Down by two,Delta was playing for a potential trying shot. Instead,they turned the ball over and Brody Flegal hit a trey atthe horn that put the Bulldogs up 43-38.“We want the last shot,” explained Delta coach Cory

Sprow. “Those are those big buckets at the end of quar-ters. We’ve got to finish quarters out. We needed thatlast shot. Whether we make it or not, we keep it out oftheir hands. We keep it a two or three point game in-stead of five.”The last big run for Edgerton came at the free throw

line. Up by four, Edgerton’s Ben Riehle and JacobAdams split free tosses to start the run. Adams added athree point play, and technical foul free throws fromNathan Stark were good to extend the lead. Start addedone more three seconds later and the lead was up to 56-44 with 2:14 left to play.“We answered quite a few runs,” added Sprow. “The

lead went back and fourth a little bit. It seemed like wewere always a possession down. They made the last runand we didn’t capitalize and we didn’t get our shots tofall.”Delta got baskets from Garlinger and Green late but

it was too late as Edgerton finished a perfect seasonwith a 59-50 win.

Defense saves IndiansBy BILL BRAYExpositor Sports Writer

Friday night this season's version ofthe Wauseon Indians gathered up theireighteenth victory of the season with ahard-fought 34-27 win over the alwaystough Holgate Tigers.The Indians and Tigers always hold

each other to fewer points than the sea-son average by a long shot. Holgate ismore of a tactical team that uses defenseas their strong suit.Friday night was no different as the

Indians had to muster all their strengthand abilities to come away with a fourthquarter surge that led them to their 18thwin of the year against just two losses.The Indians dominated the first eight

minutes with a 13-7 advantage. WadeWooley scored the game's opening bas-ket before Holgate tied the score only tosee it evaporate with a bucket by TreHenricks as the Tribe moved up 4-2.Wooley scored on a put back off aHenricks miss as the Indians went up 6-2.Holgate came through with a shot

from beyond the arc to quickly close thegap to 6-5. But Colin Dietrich was ableto answer back with a Wauseon three-pointer to put Wauseon back up 9-5.Wooley pulled down a rebound off aTigers' miss. Henricks and Alex Wotenmissed shots, but Wooley was there toput-back Woten’s miss to give theIndians a 11-5 lead. The 7-0 run came toan end with a Tiger basket as the timeexpired.The Tigers came back to outscore the

Indians in the second quarter, thoughboth teams were closed down offensive-ly, Holgate scored the quarter's first twobaskets to narrow the Wauseon lead to13-11. Wooley kept his team out front ashe scored on two free throws at ten 2:17

mark for a 15-11 advantage. The twoteams switched baskets over the last twominutes as the Indians held a 17-13 leadat the break.The Tigers were finally able to tie the

game at 17-17 as they scored the firstfour points of the third quarter. ColinDietrich matched a Holgate foul shot,but the Tigers got the next basket as theywere up by a 20-18 count with 2:23 leftin the third. The quarter ended with thegame tied 20-20 and the all importantfourth quarter left to decide the winner.Senior Alex Woten proved to be the

spark in the final eight minutes that theIndians needed. Behind Woten's athleti-cism and his ability to play the game ofbasketball, the Indians pulled off thewin. The senior scored the first point ofthe quarter after being fouled at the 4:18mark. He then followed a Wooley blockwith a conventional three-point play toput Wauseon up 24-20.The Tigers continued their aggressive

play though with a three-pointer to closethe Indians lead back to one point at 24-23 with 3:10 left. From there the foulline was Wauseon's best friend as overthe last three minutes the Indians made10 foul shots, including five byWoten asthe Indians outscored the Tigers downthe stretch 10-4 for the final win.The Indians will begin tournament ac-

tion tomorrow at Swanton. TheirDivision II sectional semifinal is againstEastwood and will start around 8 p.m.
